[It's been a while, mansion.

Kaitou KID grins, monocle catching light that isn't there, eyes shadowed by the brim of his hat. He's in a study, one that should have been on the thirtieth or so floor, but is now on the second. There are piles and piles of items scattered through the study, sorted out by owner. Mounds of things that don't belong to him, bowties and wristwatches, loose change and wallets, gems and carved statues.

If you've missed anything recently, if you put something down and lost track of it, it's probably here.]

I've come to understand that most worlds are.

Are you from England, or Japan?

[trulykaitou]

Japan. Does that make you British?

[azurebeneath]

In a manner of speaking. London hasn't been a part of England for some time now.

[continues to poke through the piles, making sure she has everything, and keeping an eye out for any trinkets that might belong to her Kaito. She doubts he'd be stolen from given how shadowy he is, but, well. Can't be too careful. And it would be something to tease him with]

[trulykaitou]

[Well, this particular Kaito can walk invisibly through walls, so who knows what he's managed to pick up.]

How'd that happen?

[azurebeneath]

[excellent, taunting can be had. Picking those out as well!]

The Empress sold it to the Bazaar as part of a bargain. No one's certain what it was, but since then it's been London Below.

[trulykaitou]

The Bazaar?

[azurebeneath]

Yes, the Masters' Bazaar.

[ says that as if it should explain everything, then pauses when she realizes it doesn't ]

No one really knows what they are, but it's safe to say that whatever it is it isn't human.

[ ...that doesn't really explain much more, does it ]

[trulykaitou]

[Well, Kaitou KID himself isn't quite human, so it explains a bit.]

What kind of not human?

[azurebeneath]

We're not quite certain of that, either.

so guess who's been playing fallen london icly as hakuba...

[trulykaitou]

Huh.

At least where I'm from, we know what kind of not human we have to deal with.

....so guess who opened deliciousfriends recently :DDD

[azurebeneath]

Well, we know some sorts, of course. There's the rubbery men, and the clay men. The devils and the soulless. Whatever it is that happens to live in the Labyrinth with the tigers. Jack, though what he is doesn't really have a proper name... [ says that with irritation, then tacks on the next item with a healthy dose of disgust (and what might, perhaps, be some tamped fear) ] ...the cantigaster and spider-councils... and of course, many people claim to know what kind of beast the Vake is, and none of them can prove it.

There's some argument over whether the tomb-colonists are still to be considered human, but I don't put much stock in it. Besides, it irritates them.

eeeeeeee

[trulykaitou]

Sounds like a busy place.

come join the shenanigans they're going to be beautiful

[azurebeneath]

That's one way of looking at it, I suppose.

i... should probably do that.

[trulykaitou]

How else would I look at it?

....and I should probably get a starter post up there

[azurebeneath]

A city like any other, with perhaps a different skew.

[trulykaitou]

Like I said, a busy place.

l....ives.....

[azurebeneath]

Fair enough.

I presume your city is just as busy?

back from the tomb colonies already?

[trulykaitou]

Not quite the same sort of busy, but never really dull.

spoke too soon. also come flirt with aoko during the feast of the exceptional rose '-'

[azurebeneath]

You mentioned "unusual and specific circumstances"?

do you have an IC aoko account? i feel like i should have asked you this before

[trulykaitou]

That I did.

Any specific questions about those unusual circumstances?

azurebeneath, natch

[azurebeneath]

Hmm...

[ponders a moment, not sure where to start. Worlds can be so different...]

What year is it for you?

[trulykaitou]

[The 80s]

The mysterious future, apparently.

[azurebeneath]

That could be anywhere from tomorrow to a hundred years from now.

[trulykaitou]

Exactly~ So no use wondering about it!

[azurebeneath]

On the contrary, that's all the more reason to worry about it.

[scrutinizing him with some interest]
